Improve Your Golf: Play To Your Strengths Not Your Weaknesses

For this technique to work in your game. You have to be truthful to your self. Do you know what your strengths and weaknesses are

What are you like driving the ball down the fairway? How are you at reading the green? Are you better at putting or do you have a great tee shot? What are you like with your long irons,short irons and woods? Have you a bad slice or hook, how good is your chipper? Be honest with your self do you absolutely know, what you are good at and what your not.

When you know what to put into action is the key to your strengths, when you are involved in a round of play. Practice on your weaknesses while on the range or have a practice round. When you know the strong points of your game you can put yourself into situations where you play to those strengths instead of relying on weaker shots.

Play into your strengths and work on your weaknesses in practice rounds. Take time to really evaluate your weak areas. Spend the bulk of your practice time on ... long putts. Putting needs to be the strongest part of your game. Long drives are great, but if you can't put together a one or two putt package into your game those long tee shots won't matter much. If you can start sinking those twenty footers consistently, and when missing not overshooting by fifteen feet, then you can start implementing that into your actual game time.

Until then make sure you keep playing to your strength, short putting, instead of trying to sink long ones. Make sure all your practicing is not in vain. You need to have professional advise and demonstrations to make sure you're practicing the right way and not just making weakness worse.
